Gang-gangs

[Martin Butterfield <>]

Yes, Hawthorns.  Such flocks are not uncommon out here at this time of year.  Some years back a visiting British birder got to see a flock of 100 overfly a barbecue on Woolcara Lane, and shortly thereafter I recorded ~80 flying from Balcombe Hill across the Molonglo at Briars Sharrow Rd.!

The attached photo of 28 Gang-gangs was taken between Hoskinstown and Rossi near the sharp bend on Wednesday. Some had left before the photo was taken. They were feeding on the berries (Hawthorn?).
